Congrats pal. Some great work there. The lighting and materials really kick butt.

Quote - a lot of time is spent condensing words to get it under the limit.

Yep, sounds very familiar. The same procedure goes for multi-pagers. And it´s always amazing how much info you eventually can squeeze in with only a few sentences. :)

Quote - How do people get their works or articles published in a magazine like 3D World? Are they approached by the editors or someone sends the editors an email with sample work and saying "I wrote a nice article, would you like to publish it?"

 
If you have something that might be interesting for a mag, you should send the stuff in. If they like it, there´s a big chance they´ll want to publish it.

Personally i´ve almost always been contacted by the editors of a mag whenever they wanted something, but on a few occasions i´ve just sent in some images for a magazines showcase galleri, and got a job offer in return.

Let them know you exist. Send a few images and/or a gallery link, and ask if they´re interested in publishing them. Anything can work.
